Is it normal to dislike breastfeeding?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes. You can dislike breastfeeding for any number of reasons, and that doesn’t make you a bad parent or mean you love your baby any less.
People’s feelings about breastfeeding vary a lot. Some enjoy the closeness; others find it uncomfortable, exhausting, overstimulating, or simply not right for them. Pressure to feel grateful or to love every part of parenting can make that dislike feel more shameful than it needs to be.
You’re allowed to choose the feeding approach that works for you and your baby. If you want to breastfeed but it’s painful or upsetting, a lactation professional or healthcare provider may be able to help; you don’t have to grit your teeth through it.
